Introduction
Executive Summary
The HP Open Source Integrated Portfolio (HP OSIP) comprises a range of products and services
designed to verify that customers can successfully realize the cost and feature benefits of adopting
open source software in their IT environments. HP Open Source foundation components include
the base components of an open source-based ecosystem. HP servers and storage are validated
to run the Linux operating system together with the supported commercial Linux distribution.
HP Open Source Middleware Stacks offer building block applications, such as the Web Server;
technical blueprints, such as this document, describing how to integrate individual components
of a technology stack; and consulting services to speed the successful implementation of an open
source strategy.
Intended Audience
The intended audience for this document is enterprise customers who are evaluating or deploying
an open source Web Server on HP ProLiant servers running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Version
10 (SLES10).
Scope and Purpose
This blueprint provides technical information for the implementation of an open source Web
Server Middleware Stack. It covers installation of the initial Linux distribution and middleware
building blocks, integration of the components, and steps for verification of stack functionality.
The software components described in this paper are tested and validated to run on HP ProLiant
servers and StorageWorks products.
HP provides quality assurance from extensive integration testing with open source software and
HP hardware so that you can confidently deploy the complete stack. Once you have completed
a successful evaluation, you have the flexibility to “do it yourself” or get assistance from HP to
incorporate open source stacks into your existing IT infrastructure.
HP Services
HP Open Source Consulting Services can help you build and integrate open source and commercial
software across multiple operating systems (OS) environments. Additionally, HP Open Source
Support Services provide industry leading technical support for all the products HP sells,
including hardware, operating systems, and open source middleware.
NOTE: While HP does not offer support for JDK, JVM, and components directly, a number of
commercial support options are available for these components. HP can help you integrate those
offerings into one support strategy.
